"And yet I must confess that I am a believer In luck, pure and simple. Certainly there's tt aillerenco between luck and superstition, and you neednt smile, either. There's fool luck, and drunken luck, and Chinese luck and niguer luck, and I've seen examples of How every one at a faro table. 1 must tell you a little incident of the latter that occurred in Omaha several years ago. 1 had been in hard rows for arz-i- e time and opened up a little snnfor th benefit of the coops down at old Dick Currys dive, opposite where the republican building now stands. You see I wanted, by association, to chance my luck. I had a roll of about $100, r .'A i evi'i -- br.O'-e ciys'S-oalong, until I found somrthing desper- ate had to be done. There was a keeneyed coon right at the end of the table, and as 1 shnlfled tbs cards I ffsAl.qd a jack just Leiow the soda. In less than a second every darky round the table knew that a jack was the second card, and the manner m which they piled up checks and cash on the jack and coppered them was a Aution to white folks. Then it happened, strangely enough, that the third card was a jack, too, and I didnt dare look up for five minutes after I had taken half their stuff on that split. Their eyes bunged out, their teeth glistened, and it was only regard for iny personal safety that kept me from rolling on the floor and howling. The gang braced up the next deal, however, but their 'tick had been broken, and in half an hour I had every dollar in the room. Those coons are a bad lot when things are coming their way. I remember a case of drunken luck, chipped in one of the fraternity, "that occurred in a room owned by John Morrissey, in Harrisburg, Pa., just after the close of the war, the game being without limit. One night a great big drover, with the smell of cattle yards oozins from every pore, came in, brought a $50 stack and put it on the jack. Then he dropped his head cn the table and went off in a drunken sleep almost instantly. Thejack won through two deals, when tho dealer announced the game closed, fjiook the drover up nnd paid him $12,800. No sober man, or prcbably drunken nmn either, who was not asleep, would ever have Allowed his money to remain in that way. I dont know much about faro, but I had a very peculiar experience in poker-playina couple of years ago, interjected a rising young attorney of Douglas county, who had joined the which had now reached the bar. party When I first struck Omaha several years before, I didnt know the jack of diamonds from the ace of spades, he continued, "but my associations in the Gate City soon taught me the difference and I became at onee the devotee of every game of cards played. The one which most fascinated me, however, was thegreat American game, I was making a nice little income from my profession which I dropped weekly at sittings we had in one of the private rooms of a leading hotel. Our game is usually made up of five, two of whom were professionals and ene, ostensibly a business man from the city, was really a capper. Every Sunday morning I would leave the hotel with an empty purse, having lost from 20 to $40 during tho night. I dont think I ever left that house but once a winner, and how that came about is what 1 will now tell. I sat in ny usual hard luck that night until it was tho capper's turn to deal. When I picked up my hand I saw that I had six card.4, all of them diamonds. This hand must have been tho gift of providence, as by getting rid of my I could make a royal flush, Jack high. Everybody stayed, oven after the dealer had raised the ante five dollars. I managed to shed that six spot, stood pat of course, and the dealer drew one card. I chipped in $10, the dealer raised my bet $25, which I saw and raised him $50, he coming back with a like amount. After the pot had been swelled to over $7t)0 he called me and wliat do you think he had four aces and started to rake in the money when I showed my flush. A more discomfited man you never saw. He had given himself the hand lie intended, but mine was a mistake. That was the first and last time I ever cheated at cards, and I still play at ii regular intervals. I understand that the game at the hotel still goes on, but my straight fluh was the last hand I ever held around that board. Detroit Republican. g six-sp- Senator Stanfords Parrot. It cost him several hundred dollars, and is a wonderfully educated bird. It speak four languages English, The French, German and Italian. Strange part of it is, that the parrot, as soon as he hears any one speak, knows in what language to address the person. For a long whilo no or.e knew that the parrot spoke Italian, until cne day an Italian artist came to the house to do some work, and the parrot heard him talk. At onee the parrot started off to jabber Italian, and had quite a conversation with tiie man. It always talks German to the German servant, and French to the maid.

This cast glass is hard, not dearer iu production than cast iron, and has the advantage of transparency, so that all flaws'ean be detected before it is applied to practical use. It will be much less exposed to injury from atmospheric influences than iron. The process of manufacture is not difficult, tho chief feature being rapid cooling. The hardness and resisting power of this cast glass are so great that experiments are now in progress at the Siemens glass foundry at Dresden with the purpose of ascertaining whether the material could be lor tails on railways.
